The APNIFFT parliamentary caucuses are groups that bring together members of parliament from different African regions and countries and provide a platform for them to indicate their policy preferences or priorities without political inhibition.
A parliamentary caucus is an exclusive meeting of the members of a party or faction for organizational and/or strategic purposes in legislative assemblies. The members of parliament in these caucuses are committed to the network’s mission and principles and strengthen the position of parliamentarians among development stakeholders.
The APNIFFT caucuses serve as venues for information exchange and institutions through which members from different parliamentary committees can meet, interact, relate and come up with bipartisan legislation based on their strategic interests. They provide a platform for robust policy engagements and debates and serve as venues for information exchange.
Our caucuses also serve as a breeding ground and a capacity-building hub for knowledgeable MPs and therefore creating a critical mass of tax justice champions at both national and regional levels, minimizing elite dependency on advocacy.
The APNIFFT caucuses capture local-level issues that would be easily overlooked in a continental platform.
